# ASCII Planet

> A hollow planet typed out in characters, spun by hand.

ASCII Planet is an animated 3D object ready for your AI assistant, React or plain JavaScript, with no dependencies. Also called ascii sphere, ascii orb, point cloud sphere or dot sphere.

A sphere of characters turns slowly, dense on its lit rim and sparse across its face, with a band of glyphs at its equator and dust around it. Drag to spin it, click to send a ring around it. Reduced motion holds a still frame.
